Release Reminder: Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG "Chicago" by Alex Young

In case you forgot, this Saturday, May 30, Michael Jordan's first-ever Air Jordan will bless shelves across the world. The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG "Chicago" will return in its original form just as it did 30 years ago, beginning with the colorway: white, black, and University red. Much to sneakerheads' delight the sneaker will feature a red Nike Air tag on the tongue, Air Jordan's black winged branding, and no Jumpman logo on the back heel like the 2013 release. The OG aesthetic carries over into packaging as the "Chicago" Ones will come unlaced, a nod to MJ's last game as a Bull. Get your pair May 30, 10am EST, at Nike.com and retailers like Livestock for $160 USD.

Thanks, Complex for the new looks and informational piece.

Kanye West Helps Merriam-Webster Update the Dictionary by Alex Young

Words like "lowkey" and "hella" are inserted in conversations everyday; our vernacular changes person by person, region by region using colloquial terms, abbreviations, and the hippest of slangs. This is a product of the ever-evolving English language. Yesterday, Merriam-Webster announced its dictionary has grown by more than 1,700 entries, as well as new senses and contextual examples to update and enhance the word catalog. "Colony collapse disorder" and "neurofeedback" provide the modernization to academia, while the internet and social media frenzy spawns the addition of words like "meme", "photobomb", and "emoji". Find more new entries Merriam-Webster Unabridged.

P.S. Yes, this is "clickbait".

Disney x Uniqlo "Mickey Plays" Collection by Alex Young

Nobody exudes swag like Mickey Mouse; he is the original OG and the fitting mascot for Disney. Mickey's cool extends beyond his right-hand woman Minnie, his Clubhouse pals, and his illustrious work catalog, but into his own brand. Similar to Bugs Bunny Mickey Mouse's legend can be recognized and appreciated by many cultures, foremost being streetwear, hence the Disney x Uniqlo "Mickey Plays" collection. The Japanese retailer collaborates with the entertainment giant to deliver twelve graphic print t-shirts (eight mens and four kids) of the cartoon character in action. Mickey's poses impersonate Uniqlo's Global Ambassadors' signature stances, like tennis players Novak Djokovic and Kei Nishikori, as well as golf pro Adam Scott. Disney x Uniqlo "Mickey Plays" is available now here.
